Cyril Collard (19 December 1957, Paris - 5 March 1993) was a Frenchauthor, filmmaker, composer, and actor.

Openly bisexual, Collard was also one of the first French artists to speak openly about his HIV-positive status.

Les Nuits fauves

The semi-autobiographical Savage Nights (Les Nuits fauves), finished in 1992, was Collard's first and only feature film. It won four Césars (best editing, best film, best first work, and most promising actress) in 1993. Unfortunately, Collard did not live to accept his award; he had died three days earlier.
